Imagine shooting from a wild bull in a thunderstorm and you’ll know what it’s like to shoot the America’s Cup AC72 race boats in ocean chop!

The Wide Eye crew hit the America’s Cup running this year when we teamed up with the Micron Digital Imagery group to chase the massive racing boats around San Francisco Bay. Our crew followed award winning nautical photographer, Onne van der Wal as he captured the intense sailboat races with his Canon cameras and lenses, Lexar memory cards and LowePro packs.

The finished edited piece shows how the cameras, lenses, memory cards and packs we rely on for everyday shooting function in even the harshest of conditions.
